[Q] So I downloaded Rom manager.... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

...and it's saying that I need to flash CWM first before I can do anything, but already have CWM 3.0.0.6 running. If I select flash CWM within Rom Manager, will it adversely affect anything? Will I need to flash a rom again after flashing CWM (again) in order to use my phone?

ROM manager doesnt work properly with Epic right now. You'll cause yourself a lot of headaches if you try to use it

ahh...thank you for the advice

Just reading the title and you know this can get bad fast

I use ROM MANAGER on the Epic, I haven't had any major problems with it, except it doesn't like to quick boot on a few roms without a little extra push. Any way, it isn't really a necessity unless you get the paid app, you can do everything easier (and on the epic, sometimes quicker) in CWM.

I have never used rom manager. Everything I do is through odin or clockwork

Rom Manager doesn't help me in any way that CWM can't, plus it generally wants to install its own problematic version of CWM... If you make multiple Nandroid backups with clockwork, then you can rename their directories to whatever you choose, just make sure there's no space in the name (i.e. try something like Nandroid_Backup-1).

[Q]CM9 CWM 5.5 backup and restore

I don't know anything about the scripts in the clockworkmods but isn't the backup and restore supposed to make an exact image and then be able to put it back the same way? So if your phone is able to boot fine through power cycles, reboots, whatever, then it should also be able to boot when that same setup is restored through clockwork.
I am asking this here so as not to get flamed in the CM9 thread. But it seems something as simple as adding a theme to CM9 stock causes the backup and restore process to fail when restoring a this setup ending in boot loops. I have never had this problem with CWM 5.0.2.7 MTD so was wondering if there is something different in the scripts between the 2 CWM versions.
Can a DEV please help me to understand what is going on? Is it something being looked at? I know there are more important things on the plate but was hoping that it is at least known and somewhere on the agenda list.
Thanks for all the awesome work on CM9 and all the CWM versions to the DEV team.
Kenny, it might have to do with a boot sequence loop problem. Meaning, it might need some extra code in the boot sequence

Cartmanz, your question was answered in your thread. Don't use ROM Manager without setting it up properly.
As to the original question, the CM9 team got back to me and said I had to pull a logcat during the boot sequence. I googled that and it has to be done with adb while it is bootlooping. I will attempt this today. The CM9 team is awesome. We both agreed this is a low priority but something to be looked at down the road.

please help me!
i see that community peoples are very useful I just google it and restore Sandwich 4.0.4, look very good! but animation pretty slow performance ...
First off, thanks for giving us more than an hour to respond. If you want speedy service, go to McDonald's.
Second, you did it all wrong. You should have just run an RUU. Restoring a Google profile in recovery should never be used, as it never works correctly.
No need to be brash. But next time give us some time to check threads. Sometimes I have to wait days.
System reset only wipes data. The original ROM is still in tact. You would have to flash a different ROM after you perform a system reset and wiping everything but stats, sd card, and rotation settings.

I think he means the proprietary files? And if I remember right a RUU removes root?

A super weird custom ROM flashing problem

Today I decided to root my One V. And I ran into a problem. I followed the instructions in this guide and everything went OK. Until I tried flashing a custom ROM.
Here's how it was:
I downloaded PA, started ROM Manager, went to flash my device and when it should go to recovery, well, it didn't. This was the screen I saw.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Restarted my phone, pulled up ROM Manager again and when I tried to fix permissions, I saw this:
And always when I try to go to Recovery, I end up looking at the same screen as in the first image (and I get nowhere)
I have no idea what's wrong, any similar problems around here, any solutions?
Dude here be happy just do what v it says

The ffirst image is normal it will pop up because of it not having stock boot.img as for the second one I'm not sure if can't use a computer to flash a recovery via boot loader I would suggest getting goomanager and try to flash a temp twrp recovery and use thatjust make sure it is for our phones screen its a high resolution screen
Sent from my HTC One V using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
http://goo.im/ v here its the link
the screen with red letters is normal....it shows that you are either entering recovery, or that u have installed custom firmware or a custom kernel on your device....as of the second photo, i dont use rom manager it uses fake flash technique...always do things manually dont do via rom manager...or do it through commands....

[Q] How now to get wifi?

My phone is a Sprint Galaxy SIII that is stock rooted. I didn't root until after accepting the OTA update to 4.3 MK3. I could use a little help getting wifi working, as there is so much out there I'm a little lost on what my next step should be.
I used the 'saferoot' method using my ubuntu pc. It worked flawlessly from the command line. It also installed SuperSu and I think it did something to disable knox, but I'm not sure what. I don't have a custom recovery or custom rom, everything else is stock.
I tried using the Wifi tether 'Trev-E' mod, but that just gives me errors and I can't get it to work.
I use this phone with my company email, which means they have hooks into it but I'm not sure in what ways.
My company laptop doesn't allow an adhoc wifi connection, only the normal infrastructure mode, so I'm hopeful someone can point me to an infrastructure capable tether app that actually works.
I'm a technical person, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff. I usually google around and get frustrated because I'm not sure what applies to me and I don't want to end up bricking my phone because I did something stupid.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Treat me like a total noob. How do I flash this hacked hotspot onto my GSIII? The link says I need a custom recovery. Which one do I choose and how do I get it loaded? Do I have to use custom recovery, or can I use 'Odin'? Thanks.
*edit*
Nevermind, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I flashed Philz recovery on the 2nd try, once I had that flashing the hacked hotspot was easy. It works with my work laptop too, yay! thanks again!

Xposed Framework for Stock KitKat ROM?

I just recently got this phone and started playing around with it.
I'm currently rooted on the stock ROM.
One of the first things I wanted to install is, in fact one of biggest reasons why I rooted the phone in the first place was to install Xposed Framework and customize it bit by bit on my own.
However, it seems that I can't actually install the framework? When I download the installer, I get this message in the Framework tab:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I suppose I could still flash the zip manually in the recovery but it sounds awfully risky considering the message.
I'm sorry if this was asked before but I searched the Xposed Framework threads and couldn't find anything about it. Google search came up with a few hits saying that I could simply by downloading the latest version but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I appreciate anyone willing to help.

So, after some extensive research, I finally got it to work.
Just download this modified installer, and choose automatic recovery installation.
Good luck!
By the way, if for some reason you can't boot up, the installation will leave a Xposed Disabler zip on your main storage. Flash it and you should be good to go.
